Own Your Own IBL Amateur MMA Team

This is your chance to OWN your own Amateur MMA Team! The IBL is seeking a very limited number of successful leaders to launch Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Teams who can also host - promote their own Amateur MMA Events around the United States. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor while this exciting opportunity is available to you. You manage and own your own team that will compete with other IBL Amateur MMA Teams in your region in route to the IBL Championships and the winning of the IBL Belts and Championship Rings!

In the IBL, all the Teams will be "Team Owned" instead of owned by the League (IBL). Team Owners do not have to be directly involved in the sport of MMA. In some cases the Team Owner will be the same as the Team Coach. However, some Teams will have a separate Owner and Coach. There is no limit to the number of Coaches and or Trainers each Team can have. Each Team will be responsible for their own expenses which means they will be allowed to seek and attain their own sponsorship for expense funding and or needed equipment. Team members could be fighters all from 1 gym/school or a combined group from the city or region the team is based out of. It will be best if all the Team members live close to each other to assure unity of the Team, especially in Team practices and decision making. This concept clearly separates the IBL/ISCF Leadership from the TEAMS just as in other successful Team Leagues such as the NFL or NBA. The only difference here is that this is an AMATEUR League.

Teams will field 5 starters and 5 alternates. Each Team will be responsible for hosting 1 home event a season. Scheduled events will be held every 30 days or every 4-5 weeks, depending on venue bookings. The plan is to have a 4 month season that will provide 1 home event for each Team.
